Associations between polymorphisms in the chicken VIP gene, egg production and broody traits.
1. In this study, the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) gene was screened for variations by cloning and sequencing to analyse the association with chicken egg production and broodiness traits. 2. Sequencing revealed that 69 polymorphisms were found in a 9305-bp length of the chicken VIP gene, of which 39 were located in introns, 28 in 5' regulatory region, 1 in exon 6 (synonymous) and 1 in 3'...
متن کاملPhenotypic Correlations between Live Body Weight and Carcass Traits in Arbor Acre Breed of Broiler Chicken
This study was aimed at determining the relationship between live body weight and carcass traits in Arbor Acre broiler chicken. Fifty day-old broiler chicks were purchased and raised on deep litter system until 56 days of age. At maturity, ten birds were randomly selected for carcass evaluation. The analyzed data showed that live weight has statistically significant (P<0.01) positive phenotypic...
متن کاملAssociation of polymorphisms for prolactin and prolactin receptor genes with broody traits in chickens.
Prolactin (PRL) is generally accepted as crucial to the onset and maintenance of broodiness in avian species. The prolactin receptor (PRLR) plays an important role in the PRL signal transduction cascade. Two candidate genes, PRL and PRLR, were screened for polymorphisms in the chicken, and their genetic effects on broodiness were evaluated. Pedigreed hens (n = 155) of the Blue-shell chicken, a ...
متن کاملStudy of Dopamine Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Their Association with Growth and Egg Production Traits in West Azerbaijan Native Chicken
The objective of this study was to search for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-type polymorphisms in the dopamine D1 receptor in West Azerbaijani native chicken and look for their association with egg production and body weight traits of chickens by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP). For this purpose 180 blood samples were taken from nativ...
متن کاملGenetic correlations between production and semen traits in pig.
Genetic correlations between production traits (average daily gain from birth till the end of the field test and ultrasonically predicted lean meat content at the end of the field test) and semen traits (semen volume, sperm concentration, motility, percentage of abnormal spermatozoa, total number of spermatozoa and number of functional spermatozoa) were estimated from a large dataset (44 500 ob...
